Stronger. Quicker. Lighter. NINJA® ZX-6R E very sportbike rider wants a clear "advantage" - a technological edge the competition can't tauch. Well, the aU-new Nihja® zx- 6R has it. More displacement equals more muscle, so we gave the ZX-6R's com pod new DOHC In-Line Four a displacement bump to 636cc. Next, we added wild 12.8: 1 lightweight pistons, electronic fuel injection, a stratospheric redline for peak power, and a close-ratio gearbox to maximize performance.• And the ZX-6R reflects Kawasaki's possion for turning low mass into precise handling. We started with a new pressed-aluminum perimeter frame and extruded aluminum swingarm, then added a class-leading inverted 41 mm front fork and Bottom-Link UN1-TRAK® rear suspension with piggy-bock shock. Super-wide 17-inch rims, Z-rated radial rubber, and Moto-GP inspired bodywork complete this rather tantalizing picture. So let'em cry foul. You and your advant-age will be long gone by then. • All-new engine displaces 636cc due to a 2mm larger bore. Composite chrome-plated cylinders with 5mm shorter skirts reduce weight. The result is more mid-range punch than the competition. o o Do""n PayIDents 0% Interest UnOl JsnuslY 2004 on selee' ",odels"" • All-new aluminum perimeter frame is lighter, more compact. Rake is 25 degrees. Moving the swingarm pivot forward helps shift weight bias onto the front wheel. • New front 41 mm inverted Koyaba cartridge fork features stepless adjustment for compression and rebound damping. • Digital instrumentation in the cockpit includes a compact central instrument for the following functions: radial tachometer, speedometer, temperature, odometer, tripmeter, clock and stopwatch. Shift indicator lamp adjustable for engine rpm and brightness. Offer good through April 30, 2003, at your Kawasaki dealer. CALIFORNIA Hahm Motorsports Kawasaki Pomona Valley Kawasaki 125 E. Ball Rd.
